The hum of the refrigerator was a familiar and welcome sound. Her day had begun. She poured herself another cup of coffee. The walk to the mailbox was slow, almost deliberate. There, a card. A birthday wish. No name, no hint of the sender. She held the card lightly, turning it over and over in her hands. She stood there for a moment, enjoying the peace of the morning. Then, with a sigh, she returned to her coffee, the card momentarily forgotten.
